Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

This fight is for everything.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The willow is too close to the house.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I really should read my own blog.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

This blog will pay for itself.

Special props to Betty for being the only one with access to the backend and then disappearing and not responding to email. *** STERN LOOK ***

    This is new — the page keeps having to reload on my iPad (I get that “this page had to be automatically reloaded” message at the top of the browser page in Safari). I have not had this problem with the redesign until tonight.

    As one of the few who praised the change (and asked that tags be at the bottom of posts…) I feel ignored with all your railing at the bitchers, Cole. Not that they don’t deserve it, but fuck!

    Good move making the author and tag line black. (And on tags, cuz you want it: tags are on par with indexes, with footnotes. They by their very nature *want* to be at the end of posts. But I don’t care.

    Thank you, John. I truly appreciate your noble efforts to make things better. You of course know, that part of this is the joy of suffering passive aggressive slights and inuendos… but then you know — you are a progressive.

    Anyway, things be faster and for that I am grateful. Also, too, the forward/back arrows, once I discovered them. Supah!

    WTF is the fucking ad atop the page “STOP THE DNC FROM HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS!” with a pic of DWS, who hardly anybody knows? Weirdest political ad ever, I can’t begin to guess who’s paying.

    Is anyone else having problems scrolling down the page on an iPad? I scroll down two or three posts and then it freezes, refuses to budge until I refresh the page. And page load times are definitely worse since all the “improvements”.

    I appreciate the addition of time of posting on the subhead, but still miss a link to comments at the end of the post. Don’t most people read a post first and then decide about reading or writing comments? As it is now, you must scroll back to the beginning of the post to get to the comments.

    But then, I seem to enjoy every single form of music that exists, since I’ve yet to hear one I don’t enjoy – in some capacity.

    Some more than others, of course.
